Weather conditions were adversely affecting roads and causing some power outages in some parts of the Chattanooga area on Monday morning.
It began spitting snow in downtown Chattanooga late Monday morning, but lots of it had already accumulated on the back side of Walden's Ridge.
Jim Robbins reported 5.6 inches at his Walden's Ridge location, where the temps took a big drop to 27 degrees.
Nick Wilson of Hamilton County EMS said early Monday morning, "Please if at all possible stay at home and off the roads.
"There are many roads that are becoming impacted by the weather - especially in higher elevations.
"Reports from Walden’s Ridge/Signal Mountain areas are having lots of issues.
"Aso note that the W Road and Roberts Mill Road are closed.
"Weather is impacting not only roadways but causing trees to fall creating power line issues as well."
The W Road had reopened by Monday afternoon.
A tree that was downed stalled traffic on Signal Mountain Boulevard on Monday morning, but it was eventually cleared.
City officials said Monday morning, "The following locations are closed or have limited access:
- 1037 Balmoral Drive
- 917 Cherokee Boulevard (Stringers Ridge Tunnel)
- 5900 Browntown Road
Please obey any instructions from law enforcement, flaggers, or traffic control devices in these areas.
